The Geography Program at UCDavis

The Geography Graduate Group at UCDavis offers an interdisciplinary academic program emphasizing spatial interactions between humans and the biophysical environment. Like all graduate groups at UCDavis, the GGG is its own entity, 'floating' above the academic departments on campus, incorporating the best faculty on campus from diverse, yet interrelated areas. Faculty interests include:

• Acculturation of indigenous peoples and immigrants
• Agricultural geography
• Biogeography, climate change, and global pollution
• Domestication and geographical dispersal of plants and animals
• GIS and remote sensing
• Human and physical geography of diverse world environments
• Tourism
• Landscape architecture
• Indigenous agrosystems, especially in tropical regions
• Landscape change and sustainable resource management
• Medical and nutritional geography
• Women in development
• Urban, economic, and political geography
• Environmental resource geography

Current research activities are being conducted around the world and in many regions of the United States, particularly California.
